Your works feel like visual diaries filled with symbols, gestures, and repeated marks. Do you see your paintings as a form of recording inner states or experiences over time?

Yes very much so. I see it like visual diaries, but not in chronological sense. Its more about being present at different moments, rather than illustrations of those moments themselves.

You mention that the deeper your work goes, the less it can be explained. At what point do you feel a painting has gone beyond language and becomes complete for you?

For me, the work is always beyond language. I don’t try to explain or evaluate it so completion is entirely intuitive.

Many of your compositions appear dense and overflowing, almost resisting empty space. What does this accumulation mean to you emotionally or conceptually?

The density comes from remaining inside an experience until it exhausts itself so empty space would feel like an escape.

Having started with drawing in notebooks as a child, do you feel that your current practice is a continuation of that instinctive scribbling, or has it transformed into something else?

The process feels familiar. But now it carries weight and meaning that weren’t present before.

You studied basic painting techniques at a young age but later moved into electronic music. How has your experience with sound and rhythm influenced your visual language?

I didn’t consciously think about how music production might influence my painting, but I’m sure it did. It shifted how I understand repetition and trained me to think in terms of rhythm.

There are recurring organic and symbolic forms across your works. Do these symbols carry fixed meanings for you, or do they change from painting to painting?

The forms return because they feel necessary and they’re consistent in form, not in meaning.

What do you hope a viewer feels or experiences when standing in front of your work without trying to “understand” it?

I want them to feel that my work is complete, like this is exactly how it’s meant to look.
